When you change to mode it changes the display to match. Use EDIT 1 to edit in 640x480 if the current mode is 2

Your first read is 26 numbers.. but you only have 15.
then they are strings.

If I missed something then I apologise.

Note* I really can't read this basic yet.. The syntax is so complex for a basic.

First it defines and reads the Values of the 15 Colors (plus 0) = 15 Numbers

Dim cl%(15):Restore colors:For f=1 To 15:Read cl%(f):Next

so far it is correct.
Later the For n=1 To 26 is reading the Sprites but has also set the Pointer to the right lable Restore qb1
The Sprite data after qb1: is stored in 2 numbers(x and y size) and the Sprite Data in compressed form as strings

I have been playing with C64 basic as there are many similarities, but this syntax is a mis mash of several basics with C thrown in.

Don't get me wrong. I'll get there. I'm trying to port Chess over but the learning curve is way harder than it was for C and Pascal.. LOL..

I do like this platform and I may try the Armite, but I need to get the syntax "in me head" first. I am still playing with writing C libraries and using them. But that kinda defeats the purpose. I have Pico's on the Arduino platform and I can do tons, but this is more..... Nostalgic.

I started with Sinclair Basic ZX81->Spectrum->QL. In addition, there was a little MS Basic on the Dragon32 (similar to that of the PET/C64 only more extensive). Then with GFA on the Atari ST I got rid of the line numbers and in VB & VBA under Windows it became event-oriented.

Even if you use the same Basic Dialect, it is partly hart to translate from one System to another. Like transfering Programs vom CMM to Pico.
That's why I understand if it's not easy to read someone else's source code. I sometimes have trouble understanding my own source codes when they are a few months old.

Commodore BASIC is one on its own, unfortunately. I think if I was to learn BASIC again it's not one I would choose to start with. :) I used to have a C64 and, I'll be honest, it was the only machine I was finally glad to get rid of.

The Atari STFM was a whole new ball game. I loved that machine (lost in a fire, unfortunately). I even considered getting a replacement but even a second hand one was a bit expensive at the time.

For sheer programming fun I still think the old Speccy took some beating. Once you got used to the keyboard system it was surprising how quickly you could churn something out.

I've been converted by MMBasic now though. :)

I have one here.. I too loved this. I had a really good MIDI Keyboard, loads of fun.

Quote That's why I understand if it's not easy to read someone else's source code. I sometimes have trouble understanding my own source codes when they are a few months old.

Yep! Me too I keep forgetting to comment / remark..

I think I have most models.. 16k, 48k, original toastrack, +2, + 3 and a piggin QL.
I have a BBC B+ and a A500 with evertyhing. All upstairs.

Now I have Pi's and Pico's doing all this stuff... Tell you what I don't have.. A life.

I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous

hehe....
I'm very familiar with that situation. :) I too have a collection of ancient machines, including a couple of 19" racks with Nascom-2 systems in them, a pile of Gemini boards intended to go into a 19" rack or three, a pile of ZX81s and various assorted Speccys, a Camputers Lynx and a Mattel Aquarius. That's without the PCs, a smattering of RPis and a box of breeding RP2040 devices. Oh, and a Goldstar MSX. A lot of this stuff has been donated by various people over the years.
